I am very appreciative of the fine editorial opinion you gave of it; you helped turn it into something. <br /><br />Remo, thank you as well for your kind message. WHH worked entirely apart from other artists - knew no others as far as we know, at least seems to have had no close artist friends - and so he worked without the benefit of critical feedback except from art directors. His neighbors, however, adored him and would have agreed with you very much.Jaleen Grovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13257085483416950886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-15926931509071803462010-11-19T19:15:59.454-05:002010-11-19T19:15:59.454-05:00Thanks for an interesting week.I think WHH was one...Thanks for an interesting week.I think WHH was one of those very talented and hard working breed who wouldn&#39;t have expected great recognition for his work but, nevertheless, deserved it. And well done to Jaleen for putting all the pieces together in such an absorbing way.Remonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-46142381316984613422010-11-19T19:05:46.927-05:002010-11-19T19:05:46.927-05:00Jaleen (and Leif)-- it has been a fun week followi...Jaleen (and Leif)-- it has been a fun week following Jaleen&#39;s excellent biography of Mr. Hinton. Most of the illustrators from Hinton&#39;s era are at a turning point: if someone doesn&#39;t take affirmative steps to preserve their core work the way Jaleen has done, it will be irretrievably dissipated by the four winds. Mr. Hinton is fortunate to have such a thoughtful and conscientious biographer. <br /><br />I had the great pleasure of reading the longer version without the pictures. After seeing the full spectrum of his art, I like the pulp covers and the early advertising best.David Apatoffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11293486149879229016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-50780956882868237512010-11-19T15:32:28.516-05:002010-11-19T15:32:28.516-05:00@ alex: Not that we know of!@ alex: Not that we know of!Jaleen Grovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13257085483416950886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-68628668168242753352010-11-19T14:44:48.160-05:002010-11-19T14:44:48.160-05:00Is it possible that Walter Haskell Hinton was rela...Is it possible that Walter Haskell Hinton was related to former Chelsea and Charlton Athletic defender Marvin Hinton?Alexnoreply@blogger.com
